Eager to exact a little revenge on his uppity, goody-two-shoes sister, Roy next ran into the family home to find the perfect secondary target to switch Miranda with.
There, laying peacefully on the floor, was the family dog – a small, hairy brown mutt named Buster.
Smiling mischievously, Roy pointed his high-tech toy at Buster and pushed the other button.
There was no fancy, sci-fi special effects. Instead, quietly but instantly, reality had been shuffled about and changed.
Roy gasped in amazement to see Buster had been replaced by a small, sleeping replica of his sister Miranda, now curled up on the floor like a dog. She looked just like herself... except she was now the size of a small dog. She was also now naked except for a large flea collar wrapped around her neck. Her hair was also a mess, knotted up and extremely long.
Running outside, Roy scrambled to catch up with the new “Miranda.”
Outside, Roy spotted an incredibly strange sight. Almost a block away from the house now was a large, hairy, half-dog/half-human creature wearing Miranda's clothes! The creature looked like a human sized version of Buster, with such enough modifications to allow the dog to walk upright like a human, wear clothes, and carry a book bag. Buster the dog was now dressed in a short-sleeved, white blouse and a blue and green plaid skirt, out from which hung a big, hairy dog's tail. The fur on Buster's head was now considerably longer, and seemed to be styled like Miranda's hair had been. It was also held back from the forehead with Miranda's blue headband.
“This is so weird,” whispered Roy to himself.
